review 1: Seventeen-year-old Joseph Connell experiences years of haunting nightmares that often turn violent. A catastrophic event eventually pushes him away from his supportive Montana ranch family to the Himalayas in India in search of physical, emotional, and spiritual healing.The reader finds himself in the midst of mysterious events that encourage the prediction of outcomes and the search for solutions.I enjoyed the detail that is characteristic of Paul Magid's writing such as descriptions of the care involved in a horse's training from yearling to adulthood and the concise comparison of the Sikh, Hindu and Buddhist religions.A few instances of profanity and a vision involving three violent deaths earn this novel its young adult rating. This engaging story of hope and forgivene... moress should appeal to adults as well.
review 2: Joseph has been tormented with nightmarish dreams for as long as he can remember. He desperately seeks release from these horrifying visions. When an accident puts him in a coma and with only one usuable limb, he despairs of never walking again, he is determined though so he seeks the advice and assistance of a man named Lahiri. Joseph travels to the Himilayans where he hopes to find the answers he seeks, while there he comes to love the land and stays for a period of time before he has to return home. This is a spiritual as well as healing journey that he undertakes.Finally his dreams are explained and he gains the wisdom he seeks. I was very surprises as to where this book was headed and enjoyed it immensely. less
